Ahhh perfect! Thanks!

Tomorrow I'm going to have our cable guy at my work make me some of those. Free and better performing is always good right.

You know I don’t know if this is related, but I put some decoders in some older locos and they were really running erratically, but since I changed this cable they are running so much better.  

Thanks, JohnnyB

The problem probably wasn't the cable but one of the connectors.  If you have a bad one it can introduce significant noise in the system.  Noise can screw up the DCC signal and confuse the decoders.  The DS64 is just another type of decoder so anything that interferes with it can also interfere with a mobile decoder as well.
